Restart MongoDB cluster

You can restart all pods of the cluster. When an exception occurs in a database, you can try to restart it.

Steps

  1. Create an OpsRequest to restart a cluster.

    kubectl apply -f - <<EOF apiVersion: apps.kubeblocks.io/v1alpha1 kind: OpsRequest metadata: name: ops-restart namespace: demo spec: clusterName: mycluster type: Restart restart: - componentName: mongodb EOF
  2. Check the pod and operation status to validate the restarting.

    kubectl get pod -n demo > NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE mycluster-mongodb-0 3/4 Terminating 0 5m32s kubectl get ops ops-restart -n demo > NAME TYPE CLUSTER STATUS PROGRESS AGE ops-restart Restart mycluster Succeed 1/1 3m26s

    During the restarting process, there are two status types for pods.

    • STATUS=Terminating: it means the cluster restart is in progress.
    • STATUS=Running: it means the cluster has been restarted.
  1. Restart a cluster with kbcli cluster restart command and enter the cluster name again.

    kbcli cluster restart mycluster -n demo > OpsRequest mongodb-cluster-restart-pzsbj created successfully, you can view the progress: kbcli cluster describe-ops mongodb-cluster-restart-pzsbj -n demo
  2. Validate the restart operation.

    Check the cluster status to identify the restart status.

    kbcli cluster list mycluster -n demo > NAME NAMESPACE CLUSTER-DEFINITION VERSION TERMINATION-POLICY STATUS CREATED-TIME mongodb-cluster demo mongodb mongodb-5.0 Delete Running Apr 26,2023 12:50 UTC+0800
    • STATUS=Updating: it means the cluster restart is in progress.
    • STATUS=Running: it means the cluster has been restarted.
